Monday, 9 May 2022
USAID's Deputy Admi-nistrator Isobel Coleman is now visiting Bangladesh as part of her tri-nation tour, reports UNB.
After wrapping up her Bangladesh tour (May 7-11), she will travel to Thailand and Laos, according to USAID.
During her Asian tour, she will assess the needs of regional humanitarian crises, including the Rohingya refugee problem.
The United States appreciates Bangladesh's compassion and humanitarian response to support over one million Rohingya refugees currently living in Cox's Bazar district and Bhasan Char Island.
On April 4, USAID's Administrator Samantha Power met with Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen and discussed Rohingya refugee policies, joint climate action to promote clean energy solutions, and methods for improving Bangladesh's business environment and galvanizing investment.
